HERBERT BEHRENS Unobtrusively accomplishing a great deal, Herb, one of the quieter members of our class, has been a most valu- able asset to us. It has been through his patient manage- ment. that many an issue of the Bulletin has success- fully gone to press, and be ended up his Senior year by becoming its editor. GLORIA BERNSTEIN Having the rare quality of making friends easily through her sweet nature, Glo has won the friendship of all her fellow classmates. History class has been greatly en- livened by her timely and intelligent comments. In the field of sports. Gloria has excelled in archery and hockey. JOAN BLACK .loan has contributed greatly, in the last year, to the support of the Woodmere Diner and Long Island Rail- road, since she has left ber old haunt in Gibson to take up new residence in Garden City. Her witty frankness has brightened many a dull moment in Woodmere. JEAN NE BLEISTIFT Jean's Interpretation of the murderess. Mrs. Thurston Allen. in the Senior Play, was one of the outstanding performances. Her prowess in the dramatic line was rewarded well when in her .lunior year she was elected President of the Footlighters. We fully expect, some day. to see her name in lights on Broadway. JOSEPH BOEHRER .loe has been one of the surpassing players in several sports. Many a gasp has been caused by his accurate long shots during tense moments of basketball games. Second only to his speedy foot-work is the rapidity with which he speaks. BERNARD BOOKBINDER For the past year Chuchie has been the successful author of the sports column The Book Says . He has contributed to the school not only in the line of sports. but has also delved into the field of current events through the medium of the International Relations Club. RITA BORDOW Little Reet caused many a hearty laugh by her clever portrayal of the brat, Eloise, in Reserve Two for Murder . She has followed in her brother's footsteps in her interest in and knowledge of photography and has become vice-president of the Camera Club in her Senior year. LYNETTE BROWER An amazing basketball forward and all-around athlete is Sis. Often thought of as a tomboy, she is quite the lady to those who know her well.

His vast knowledge of current events made him a welcome addition to the International Relations Club. and Bulletin has him to thank for several of its cartoons. RALPH JOSEPH Our vice-president's popularity in Woodmere High is not to be easily equalled. Besides making friends, Ralph's favorite activities have been International Relations Club and Track. He also played featured roles in both our Junior and Senior plays and did a grand job in both. ANN SLATTERY Ann is that pretty young lady who can always be de- pended upon to do that favor for you. Ann's accomplish' ments as Senior Class secretary and as a faithful member of the Art Club have been made modestly, but have not gone unnoticed. MILDRED RICHTER Affectionately known as Mildew , our Senior Class treasurer has breezed through high school leaving behind her an enviable record in sports. clubs and scholarship. With her contagious grin and quick humor, we are con- fident that she can draw as many laughs as Bob Hope any day. KATHERINE RAPP Three cheers go to Kathy who in three and a half years came through with a high enough average to make her valedictorian of our class. Her conscientious work in the Red Cross Club has made her a valuable part of that organization and of any other which she has joined. JUNE ENCELHARDT We find in June the most welcome and rare combination of both brains and personality plus . Not only is she the salutatorian of our class, but is also Editor-in-Chief of Patches and an officer in several clubs. What more could be wished of a classmate? Nothing, she's tops! PATRICIA BAIN Cute Pat's chuckles are well known in Woodmere, and undoubtedly by the Army, Navy and Marine Corps too. Sports have been Pat's favorite outside activities, and her good-natured humor has livened up the baseball field. BEATRICE BARAK Bea is perhaps one of the busiest of the Senior Class. If she isn't doing stencils for the Bulletin or teachers, you may be certain that she is collecting cards for Miss Grafeld or busily typing for Patches , Her performance in Big Hearted Herbert in her Junior year displayed her acting ability.

MARIE BURCIIAM Marie is a very studious person who sits back and listens. She absorbs knowledge all term and then lets loose on the exams. Business is her line of contemplation and she will probably make a very efficient secretary after her high school graduation. JOHN BYRNES Blonde. easy going. John. with his subtle humor. made Mrs. White's history classes even more entertaining than ever. He did his bit for our class play by firing the two shots needed for the murder. and by aiding with the scenery. MARIE CASPERSEN Caspie . one of the January graduates. is known for her fast and eltective pitching for the girl's softball team. Her generousness is envied by all who really knew her and she was constantly in a happy-go-lucky. energetic mood. She never seemed to sit still a moment. BARB ARA CHERNOFF Dark haired Barbara has several activities to her credit. As one of the first ten. she has also shown her ability in classroom work. Moreover. she is an eflicient and co- operative memher of thc Bulletin staff and Interna- tional Relations Club. RUTH CLEVEN This future business woman is one of the most coopera- tive and sweet-natured persons in Woodmere High. Ruthie. though quiet and reserved has momentarily broken her shyness to engage in several sports. JEAN COHEN Artistic ability has been .Iean's outstanding characteristic. She has used this skill in working both on Patches and Bulletin . As a Topsy Chorus Girl she tapped her way to fame in Showboat,'. BEVERLY CRYSTAL A jolly and happy-go-lucky person, Bev is seldom seen without Wzilter at her side. or a smile on her face. The outbursts caused by Bev's quips in all of her classes has fostered many a gray hair among the faculty. MILTON DAVIS You can't possibly forget Miltons' grand supporting role as the suave. Ivan Strange. in the Senior play. His real personality was kept from us. and only by means of play rehearsals did we learn of his wittiness and friendliness.
